As a pharmacist, ensuring patient safety often involves checking for potential drug interactions. You have already learned how to represent medication data using Python dictionaries, where each key-value pair can represent a specific interaction and its corresponding warning. When given a list of medications, you can systematically check each unique pair to see if an interaction exists. This approach prevents missing any dangerous combinations and helps automate crucial safety checks. By reviewing all possible pairs and referencing a dictionary of interactions, you can quickly identify and communicate any issues or confirm that the medication regimen is safe for the patient.
